    Ford Blue

     



    Hey Guys;
    I've had this three ton jack for about 10 years now.
    Since the day I got it I've had problems with it.
    Leaking and problems with bolts coming loose.
    Well about 6 months ago I lent it to a friend and
    it came back with all the bearings gone in the rear
    wheels, on both sides. I bought some new rear wheels
    and they were to big to turn 360 degrees so the ears
    that the old wheels were on, were to short for the new wheels.
    In other words the wheels hit the sides of the jack.
    So I cut off the old ears and welded longer ears to the
    side of jack to mount the new wheels on.
    Now the Jack was alway chevy orange but me being a
    Ford guy only had Ford blue paint.
    So this is what I used to re - paint it, since then
    the Jack has stoped leaking the bolts that always came
    loose, stoped coming loose. And now the angle seems to be
    better and it rolls smoother then ever.
    I guess it was just jealouse of that beautiful ford blue color.
    I'd be a little pissed to if some one painted me a ugly
    chevy orange color. HE! HE! HE! Kurt
